Salvete Omnes,
Fratre, Legio I Italica was raised by Nero in 66AD. It was a courageous legion and served till at least the 500's. At first in present day France, but most of it's career was spent in present day Bulgaria around the Danube. There is evidence that subunits of it helped build the Antonine Wall. My questions are...is there any fisical evidence that this legion actually served in Britain? If so, for how long? How much of this legion actually served there? Did they have an actual base/fort there? If so, where was it located? I've been researching this legion so any information in regards to it would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Vale,
Thomas Guenther
